I’d assume the weird “Obama is going to use FEMA to set up concentration camps to round up all his enemies” conspiracy (Possibly updated to Biden, possibly not, they tend to also be the “Obama is using Biden as a secret third term controlling him from the shadows (and Harris will be an even secreter fourth)” type)
This goes further back than that. I remember the first x files movie really leaning into this conspiracy that FeMA could be used to basically take over the country. Of course back then conspiracy theories were fun and on the cringiest of folks actually bought into them. Not so much anymore.
It wasn’t that the conspiracy shit was fun, but that the X Files were a fictional TV show. Stargate uses a metric fuckton of conspiracy shit too in their world building but only complete loons would take any of that seriously.
Agree to disagree. Back in the 90’s there were plenty of fun conspiracy theory shows on discovery and other channels that weren’t in the same vein as ancient aliens or other shows out today which are trying super hard to prove the theories as fact. They were campy and fun and not hosted by coke addled pseudoscience psychopaths with fake degrees.
Ancient aliens were a thing back then already. lol
That’s literally what Stargate’s base plot is based on and one of the most famous book authors on that topic, Erich von Däniken, had been writing bullshit books since the 70s about it. I know way too much about all of this because I had the pleasure of growing up under all of this garbage.
They’re, quite literally, the same. You have the Greys, which are you stereotypical big headed little guys with the big eyes who cloned themselves into a pickle, you have your Pleiades living Aryan Nazi propaganda looking ones that are allegedly the good guys (coming from people who also believe in the The Protocols of the Elders of Zion), you have your lizard people mimicking humans (allegedly evil and who are the puppet masters in today’s political climate), etc. They build the pyramids, or the pyramids are landing places for their ships, and they ruled and guided us in ancient times, and now we have them rule us in the shadows. It’s all a string of the same bullshit stories they are making up for decades now.

No shit dildo, they’re ancient. They’re not talking about current day aliens.

I was just being silly. You’re right of course, it’s all bullshit.
The Lib agenda leaked

Step 2: round up True Patriots into Concentration camps thanks to FEMA
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit.
